No s**t! :D

I assume there's some government body that can provide tips but don't know exactly which one. I'd give her an ultimatum of paying 1/2 instead of 1/3 until you rent out the room, or you kick her out (assuming you can afford increased costs for the short-term). Contract law is murky when you...

This is a great analysis on age differences. Not saying you have to agree with it - if you don't you may understand why it's not unusual for older men to shack up with younger women.

The subsidy goes straight to the centre, not the parents. BTW my rates were for a not-for-profit community centre. I know from the AGMs that there weren't large margins (essentially break even). It is a great centre so I feel blessed my kids went there (even though it cost an arm and a leg).

The major factors are a) single or double income families, b) income levels and c) number of children. So for some parents it is simply not viable. BTW that's $80 PER CHILD. There was one year both my kids were in all week and it was costing ~$750/week. So the missus' salary was simply covering...
